Regardless of the naming scheme in use it will very > likely change. Didn't in my case. Ethernet and USB wireless dongle kept the same names in the new box as the old one. I used original hard drive from the old box in the new one. Booted right up. Wirelss worked, too. That surprised me. Didn't have to do anything. I was up and running in 60 seconds! Didn't test onboard Ethernet though. It's disabled. As it's impractical to connect it due to the locations of the box and the router. B
